34. The vertical layer spacing of W(111) is 1.82 Å. The vertical layer spacings of 2.04 and 1.37 Å for lattice-matched fcc Fe(111)/W(111) and ps bcc Fe(111)/W(111), respectively, are obtained after taking into account the lateral strain through the conservation of atomic volume with respect to unstrained bulk counterparts. In the estimation of the layer spacing of lattice-matched fcc Fe(111)/W(111), the next nearest neighbor distance of the bulk Fe(111) layer (4.42 Å) is assumed to be expanded to match the nearest neighbor distance of W(111) (4.47 Å).
